Go Mambo! New England Week One
We kicked off the Northeastern leg of the Go Mambo! tour at the Connecticut Women’s Expo. Many recognized our colors from years past and were happy to see us back. We also made many new friends who were eager to learn about the Mambo Tour, and all the different, healthy new products we were bringing to Hartford. We were quickly the most popular team to represent at the Women’s Expo. We also had the opportunity to meet and speak with many of our LOHAS contacts, and quickly learned that so many new people were searching for opportunities to improve the quality and well being of the lives they led- they were glad to see the Mambo van zooming around town to spread the word.
Next we cruised around downtown Hartford dishing out sample bags out of the Go Mambo! van. At Bushnell Park we delighted a local university’s Gay/Straight Alliance with healthy snacks as they built a pyramid out of themselves to thank us. After that, we stopped by a Hartford children’s hospital and spread our sample bags to children, their parents, nurses and doctors.
Our store demos were terrific. With plenty of support from our local stores, the Go Mambo! tour was written up in local papers, and so many interested and curious samplers came by to visit our live sampling exhibit in Westport and West Hartford. They loved the Mambo sampler bags all the way down to Greenwich where we greeted customers at the door. Rain didn’t deter us from a great stop in Westport where we greeted loads of moms who had just finished their daily workouts.
Next stop is Beantown! Our Boston visit will be for two weeks, and we’ll be at all your favorite stores and events. Look for the Mambo Van!
